There were three series of ships.

She was scrapped in 2010. For most of her career she operated as a cruise ship in the Mediterranean. Ivan Franko Alexandr Pushkin Taras Shevtchenko Shota Rusatveli Mikhail Lermontov Mikhail Kalinin class.
It had already been rumoured in 2008 that this superb ex Italian liner now operating as a Greek cruise ship would be decommissioned which was such a sad thought for she was still in perfect condition in every sense of the word and I personally know many who sailed on her and raved about her interior and exterior state. SS Ausonia was an Italian cruise liner launched in 1956. In 1998 she was sold to the Louis Cruise Lines based in Cyprus.
The largest ship in the fleet to date and with her deep draft she was not without her maneuvering difficulties an incident where she collided with the pier at Kusadasi in the summer of 1997 would be testament to that fact but she was beautifully maintained and loved by her. The A Class of 1922 were the Andania Antonia and the Ausonia. Built in 1971 as the NORDIC PRINCE by WARTSILA in Finland the ship was operated by Royal Caribbean and had a GRT of 18346 she was 169 meters long with a top speed of 22 knots.
The SS LEONARDO DA VINCI was an ocean liner built by ANSALDO SHIPYARDS at Genoa in 1960 the ship was intended as a replacement for the ill-fated ANDREA DORIA to operate on the North Atlantic run with ITALIAN LINE she was as built 33340 GRT and had a top speed of 255 knots. Birka Cruises 1971-2020 was a Mariehamn Aland Finland-headquartered company fully-owned by Eckero Line Oy Rederi Ab Eckero 1995-founded Helsinki-based cargo and passenger shipping company. Oddly even for a liner all cabins below A-deck were windowless but on the technical side the ships were among the most advanced of their time.
In the maritime beauty pageant stakes the Ausonia punched way above her weight. SS Ausonia was an Italian cruise liner launched in 1956. These ships were originally intended for the England to.
